The annual Joy Edwards Hembree Honors Program at Midway University was done through a video presentation this year to recognize several students, faculty members and campus organizations for their outstanding achievements in the classroom and extra-curricular activities.
“The annual Honors event is an important reminder of our purpose and a celebration of our students’ academic and social achievements,” said Dr. Mary Elizabeth Stivers, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Midway University. “Although we couldn’t gather on campus to celebrate this together, we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to acknowledge our student’s achievements.”
